For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the tilapia while it cooks. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or bread to customize your sandwich. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mayonnaise sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, gently combine the chopped tomato, mayonnaise, minced red onion, and dill pickle relish. Infuse with the piri piri chile pepper, then season to perfection with salt and pepper. Allow flavors to meld while you prepare the tilapia. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepGenerously season both sides of the tilapia fillets with the seafood seasoning and garlic powder, ensuring an even coating. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
StepIn a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it shimmers. Carefully place the seasoned tilapia fillets into the skillet and cook until golden brown and the fish flakes effortlessly with a fork, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once cooked, artfully arrange two slices of pepper Jack cheese atop each fillet, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt into a molten blanket, about 1 to 2 minutes. (Cook time: 6-8 minutes)
04
StepDelicately transfer each tilapia fillet to a slice of toasted bread, anoint with the prepared mayonnaise sauce, and crown with the remaining slice of bread to complete your masterpiece. Serve immediately and savor the symphony of flavors. (Assembly time: 2 minutes)
